Applications
The Harris Adacom CP 150 Plus is a printer-sharing controller from the early 1990s, a period when centralized print spooling hardware was a common solution in offices and workgroups. Rather than dedicating a PC as a print server, standalone controllers like the CP 150 Plus sat between hosts and a shared printer, accepting parallel data from multiple host systems and queuing print jobs locally. The DB-25 HOST and PRINTER ports follow the standard Centronics parallel interface common to that era, while the BNC CONTROLLER port allowed for network or external management connectivity. Harris Adacom was a well-known manufacturer of data communications and networking equipment during the late 1980s and early 1990s, and the CP 150 Plus was aimed at office environments running DOS-era hosts and mid-range systems where print sharing at the hardware level was more practical than software-based solutions. Units like this are typically sought today for legacy system support, industrial environments still running period-correct equipment, or as replacement hardware for organizations maintaining older parallel-interface printer infrastructure.
This Harris Adacom CP 150 Plus printer controller (Part No. 2376) has been inspected and is in good used condition. It was pulled from a working environment where it was in active use and functional. The white plastic enclosure shows light surface scuffing consistent with normal office use, but the unit is structurally intact with no cracks or damage. The front-panel buttons, LCD display, and indicator LEDs appear intact. All rear-panel connectors — DB-25 Printer, DB-25 Host, DB-25 Controller, and BNC — are present and undamaged. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
